A walk on the Ile Saint-Louis and the Ile de la Cité

Île de la Cité, Île Saint-Louis … islands in Paris are special places not to miss.

Two islands in the heart of Paris are particularly appealing to tourists: the Île Saint-Louis and the Île de la Cité have some of the finest monuments in Paris, and their quaysides are wonderful places to stroll and enjoy a picnic.

Please note: This tour requires lots of walking; please dress appropriately and for all weather.

The unassuming Île Saint-Louis retained its tranquility and elegance, whilst on the Île de la Cité a palace and a cathedral were built. Today, visitors flock to see landmark sites including the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, Sainte-Chapelle … and discover with surprise and delight the elegance and refinement of hôtels particuliers on the adjacent Île Saint-Louis. Linked by a bridge, these two islands on the Seine are inseparable. The walk starts at the metro station Sully-Morland (line 7).

Pavillon de l’Arsenal

From Sully-Morland, before crossing the Seine, walkers can visit the Pavillon de l’Arsenal – an information, documentation and exhibition centre for urban planning and architecture in Paris and the Paris Metropolis. A great place to see excellent exhibitions for free and learn about the development of the capital as well as important future projects! Pavillon de l’Arsenal – 21 boulevard Morland, Paris 4th

Square Barye

The Île Saint-Louis begins at a little triangular public garden, the Square Barye. The monument that greets visitors at street level is a tribute to the artist Antoine-Louis Barye, whose sculptures are housed in the Louvre and in many museums around the world. From the garden, a flight of steps leads down to the Seine – the only way of accessing the river, which splits here into two branches embracing the two islands. Square Barye – 2 boulevard Henri-IV, Paris 4th

The first hôtel particulier lining the Seine on the island is the Hôtel Lambert, built in 1642 and recognizable by its elegant rotunda, and with a walled garden. Although not open to visitors, the building’s facade allows one to imagine the famous Hercules Gallery, the work of Charles Le Brun, and the many painted panels that decorate it. The Hôtel was frequented by the greatest figures of the 18th and 19th centuries: Rousseau, Voltaire, then Chopin, Delacroix, Balzac, Liszt, Berlioz, and others. Hôtel Lambert – 2 rue Saint-Louis en l’Île, Paris 4th

Église Saint-Louis-en-l’Île

The Rue Saint-Louis en l’Île cuts across the Île Saint-Louis and is lined with many hôtels particuliers, restaurants and shops. This main street is right at the heart of the island and is especially popular with ice cream lovers who flock to the world-renowned ice cream maker Berthillon. Visible from both ends of the street, the openwork belltower of the Eglise Saint-Louis en l’Île gives the island a village-like atmosphere. Église Saint-Louis-en-l’Île – 19 rue Saint-Louis-en-l’Île, Paris 4th

Pont Saint Louis

This is the only bridge linking the two islands and is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists. A walk across the Pont Saint-Louis offers a breathtaking view of the chevet of Notre-Dame de Paris and the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) on the other side of the Seine. Street artists often perform here, much to the delight of passers-by who pause to enjoy the entertainment. Pont Saint Louis – Quai d’Orléans – Quai aux Fleurs, Paris 4th

A Gothic masterpiece dating back 850 years, Notre-Dame de Paris is a major landmark in the capital. The cathedral’s two 69-metre-high towers dominate the Île de la Cité, and sculpted chimeras and gargoyles visible from the square make up an extraordinary bestiary. Since the tragic fire of April 2019, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris has been undergoing restoration work and is not – for the moment – able to welcome the public. However, it remains a landmark site for Parisians and tourists from all over the world. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris et son trésor – 6 parvis Notre-Dame – Place Jean-Paul II, Paris 4th

Marché aux fleurs et marché aux oiseaux

Housed in charming cast-iron pavilions by the Seine, the flower market on the Île de la Cité has been open since 1808. A stroll around the stalls filled with seasonal flowers, orchids, plants, and other exotic vegetation is a delightful experience. On Sunday, the flower market is replaced by a bird market, and the pavilions are filled with the song and chirping of canaries, parakeets, and other feathered species. Marché aux fleurs et marché aux oiseaux – Place Louis Lépine – Quai de la Corse, Paris 4th

This is one of the prettiest squares in Paris. Tucked away between building at the western end of the island, Place Dauphine is a tranquil spot despite being at the heart of the city. Although redesigned several times, it has kept its typical 1600s architecture: ground floor arcade shops and stone and brick facades. This charming square has attracted the attention of film directors around the world and often features in films. It is also popular with pétanque players, who play in the shade of the trees. Place Dauphine, Paris 1st

Pont Neuf

Contrary to its name, the Pont Neuf (in English,‘New Bridge’) is actually the oldest bridge in Paris! The first stone was laid in 1578, in the presence of Catherine de’ Medici. It was the first bridge in Paris not to have any shops or houses built on it, and to have pavements! Dominating the middle of the Pont Neuf is an equestrian statue of (and commissioned by) king Henri IV looking towards the Place Dauphine. Pont Neuf – Quai de la Mégisserie – Quai des Grands Augustins, Paris 1st

Square du Vert-Galant

Below the Pont Neuf, at the western tip of the Île de la Cité, this small public garden provides a lovely panoramic view of the two banks of the Seine and landmarks including the Louvre Museum, the Passerelle des Arts footbridge, and the dome of the Institut de France. Also visible from here are the famous ‘mascarons’ that adorn the Pont Neuf: more than 380 or grotesque faces sculpted in stone. Square du Vert-Galant – Place du Pont Neuf, Paris 1st
